I am sure this has been asked, but since I am new... How much of a fan of the Dresden File books are you guys? I only ask this because of the fact that the...
I am just a lurker here, waiting for the game to come out like everyone else, but I have been following what they are doing. My impression is that the...
... For our sanity (and Chad's!), we're probably going to set Small Favor as the cut-off point, plus the various attendant short stories (and possibly the...
Better late than bad. Just knowing it is coming is good. How many of us can name RPGs that were obviously rushed out and/or not properly play tested? Take your...
I for one agree whole heartedly. I would rather the game "work" than have a game rushed out because the demand is so high. ... that were obviously rushed out...
I really liked the GURPS Hellboy book, it had the game and lots of Hellboy info in it, so for me the answer would be yes. RPG plus a Fan Guide. > The Dresden...
... Yeah, we goofed bad by putting that date on there. That was back when we were working on a version that was ultimately crap; it was since nuked from orbit...
Yay! Cause while I don't play GURPS, I really apreciated their Discworld book...it was done in the style of a guide for the series. I think that's the right...
I did the same thing with the Discworld books. And I agree about the guide-like approach. They're much easier and more interesting to read than books that are...
I'm all for it doubling as a fan guide! I bought the Hellboy RPG and Buffy/Angel RPG books just as much for their fan info as for the RPG aspect (though I am a...
... Some, some, and no, respectively. Dragons -- along the lines of Mister Ferro, whose "true form would crack the world", are a bit off the scale in terms of...
I have just starting to read the Dresden stuff so this kind of buzzle to me. How does the break up of technology work in books and game? There was a note in...
... Harry's magic doesn't always interfere with technology. In one of the books he actually uses a cell phone to call Murphy from O'Hare airport. The way it's...
I also started a community on Live Journal for discussion of this game if anyone is interested. http://community.livejournal.com/dresdenfilesrpg/ Stacey...
First, I'd like to throw in with the 'GURPS: Discworld' was done well. It was written for the GURPS system but was very open in the writing. I also picked it...
Like, "Evil Hats" off? Sorry... you know, whenever I think of 'Evil Hat', I feel like there should be a penguin in the logo somewhere. Maybe a red penguin? ...
It's also important to note how this destruction of technology works. It's a matter of increasing the odds that something that can go wrong will (hello...
Quick follow-up (wish you could edit your own earlier messages). An interesting point of note on this is that there is some question during the series as to...
It is interesting to think about the things that the average person could build and truly understands indepth in modern society. How many people reading this...
... Then why would it only affect technology that has an electronic base -- because it is active? Consider, on my desk there is a pen. The average person...
Well, I was referring to the Dresden Universe and I am not familiar with the series you are quoting. Every writer will have their own variations of how magic...
Well, Fred is unlikely to smack you around. Especially when debating a subject that is so tricky. Here's my take on it. Magic is fueled by belief. This is...
... That's the old, "You can't be a wizard and a swordfighter because you have to train exclusively in one to be any good," theory which even _then_, much like...
Well, it's a bit different. It's not just like saying you can't get two Master's degrees from MIT *and* be the European kickboxing champion. There is a...
I do see some truth in this, but that's also aiming in the science vs. Christianity direction, which is more possible than people believe. Personally, I'm a...
